Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies recently experienced a setback after a seven-game winning streak, suffering three consecutive losses to the Giants where they gave up 28 runs. The team is struggling with pitching, particularly on the road, despite playing in Coors Field, known as a hitter-friendly park. Relief pitchers are ranked in the bottom five in FIP and ERA. Pitcher Austin Gomber will be key in trying to secure a victory, having performed well in two road starts this month. The offense is also facing challenges, ranking 22nd in runs per game, with low numbers in stolen bases and home runs. The team will need to improve on their walk and strikeout rates to turn their season around. With a power ranking of 24, Colorado is ranked 23rd in offense, 30th in defense, and holds a record of 15-32 for the season.
